Some positive, many deficits

Communication with property management/owner was very good until I gave report of things to be improved upon. The beach is beautiful, the home is well suited to a large group. The pillows were terrible with complaints from 5/6 in our group. The towels were worn. Both were in need to be refreshed, especially for a rental. Any pillow in closets held onto a musty cabin smell. In addition - the shower control in 1st floor bath was difficult to adjust, no soap left in showers. Kitchen sink faucet dripped without careful adjustment and difficult to get the hot water to flow to. Both fixtures are very dated. The kitchen well well stocked was not as clean as should be with a rental. When we went to place our trash in the trash bin - it was already full and we could not close the lid when we left. The furniture literally shed on our clothing from old pieces of fake leather from the sofa & recliner. The property could be improved with some attention to detail and strategic upgrades. If this property meets your bed needs - bring you pillows.

Nice Home, Great Location

Spent 3 days on Lake Michigan, just west of the bridge. Beautiful sunsets every night. Home was clean, beds were fine and communication with the owners was easy. Location is handy for exploring Mackinaw Island and the Upper Peninsula.

Kelly Cottage has plenty of space for spreading out and is also cozy at the same time, if that makes sense, lol! Love that it is pet-friendly, and so close to Mackinac Island. We really enjoyed being so close to the water, and also close to a main road. It was quiet and calm, and the skylights in the upper rooms were a lovely surprise. We had a fair amount of rain, so didn't make a lot of use of the outdoor areas, but I could see it being a lot of fun in better weather. My note to other travelers: please keep in mind that this is a home, and not a hotel. The advantages are: plenty of room and privacy, having a full-size kitchen, and not sharing space with strangers. The downside: you have to get your own food (which is a plus for me, since I don't like getting up early for hotel breakfasts, and since my mom has special dietary needs), and there isn't 'housekeeping' service. Again, that's a plus for me since I like my privacy. There is a washer and dryer, if you need to do laundry. But there were plenty of towels and linens provided, so it was not an issue for my family. I highly recommend Kelly Cottage, especially for those going to Mackinac Island, and those with pets/children. If we come back and visit the area in the future, I will definitely try to book this lovely home again!

Nice spot on the lake with room to spread out

Pleasant home. We liked to crack the windows and listent to the waves. Lovely views from the master bedroom. Nice to have 2 bathrooms. Unfortunately, it rained while we were there, so did not get to enjoy the beach as much as we would have liked.

About the host

Hosted by Kelli Ann

Host profile image
The Kelly Cottage is a generational home. A lifetime of family memories has been made here and we are happy to be able to share that opportunity with you and your family.

Why they chose this property

A couple of the best aspects of this property is the area, it's quiet, it's peaceful. The lake is healing to the body and soul, it calls us to reconnect to nature.

What makes this property unique

This home is meant for family and friends to come together, cook together, laugh together and to love each other in a comfortable and incredibly natural environment. It will easily become the annual cottage retreat that the entire family will look forward to.
